Aberdeen Country Park

Aberdeen Country Park is an urban park on Hong Kong Island covering 423 hectares with rolling hills, secondary forests, and two reservoirs surrounded by dense woodland. The site features hiking trails, fitness stations, a Tai Chi area, barbecue spots, and accessible facilities for visitors with mobility needs.

During Japanese occupation in World War II, extensive forest clearing took place, which later prompted major reforestation efforts. These replanting campaigns shaped the current woodland landscape and demonstrate how the area has recovered over decades.

The tree education center displays information about forest conservation through interactive exhibits and models, showing how vegetation was restored over time. Visitors can see examples of native tree species and understand their importance to the local environment.

Visit during cooler months when trails are more enjoyable and the park is less crowded. Wear sturdy shoes as paths can be uneven, and bring plenty of water especially for longer walks through the woodland areas.

The park preserves one of the last remaining feng shui forests on Hong Kong Island, a woodland area with special cultural significance. This forest section in the southeast corner reflects traditional forest management practices passed down through generations.
